Draft FY27 capital plan totals $1.4 billion over 10 years as proposed water project drives increase
Summary
Deputy director Zane Garrett presented Draft 1 of the FY27 capital improvement plan, showing a balanced FY27 budget of roughly $104 million and a 10‑year plan totaling about $1.4 billion, driven primarily by a proposed water infrastructure development project.
Deputy Director Zane Garrett presented Draft 1 of Washington County's FY27 capital improvement program to the commissioners, describing the process for evaluating capital requests and summarizing funding sources, major projects, and debt capacity.
Garrett said the FY27 proposed capital improvement budget is balanced in total at about $104,000,000 for fiscal year 2027, and that the 10‑year plan totals approximately $1,400,000,000 — a 61.4% increase from the FY26 approved 10‑year plan — with the primary driver being a proposed water infrastructure development project. He noted that, without the water project, the 10‑year total would be roughly $875,900,000.
The presentation summarized funding assumptions including local funding sources, transfers from the general fund, speed camera revenue, and both tax‑supported and self‑supported bonds. Garrett also highlighted major projects in the plan (education projects, the public safety training center, transit facility expansions, radio system replacement, apparatus reserve purchases, and water projects) and outlined debt‑capacity analysis showing tax‑supported bonds in the FY27 CIP scheduled at $14,000,000.
Commissioners thanked staff and asked follow‑up questions about timing and funding; Garrett said the 10‑year plan is subject to change and that only FY27 project funding was being approved at this stage.
